Settlement Approaches

Finally after a couple of years of scrimping and saving we purchased our very own house. It wasnt so bad, we still managed to travel a bit in 2007 but in the last 12 months we did no travel whatsoever...not even weekends away! I felt that a time to buy was fast approaching so two years ago we committed to it and here we are....two days away from settlement!



We started looking about 6 months ago and had almost given up for the year when I came across this old bungalow. Built in 1930, it had been in the same family since new. It was exactly what we were looking for. Dated and untouched but very healthy structurally. The gardens were in great condition, just the interior needed the work. We submitted a healthy offer and were successful.



So here we are, two days away from settlement. I am finding it hard to sleep, so many plans............so little money!
